It has been a month now since I got the Rog Phone 2.
Since day 1 I have applied 3M clear protection on the phone body.
However since it was new I was insecure I had got a cheap gel clear case for the phone.
I also used my pouch which I got it custom made since iPhone XS Max and then used it with my Samsung Note 10 Plus and now for the Rog Phone 2.

I am finding the gel case is adding extra weight to the already heavy Rog Phone 2.
So I will be rocking the phone now without the gel case.
I think the 3M Clear protection will be good enough for me. Just have to be careful to not drop the phone.
I have custom made 2 pouches out of Cork material to carry the Rog Phone 2. Black for the week days to the office and brown for the weekends when I dress casual.
Now I am waiting for the 4 sets of skins I ordered from capesindia.

Will then replace the 3M clear protection.

I had it done from a local store in Hong Kong. However you can also order one from skinomi. It is similar.

The clear 3m looks awesome.
Shocked a phone as awesome as this one doesn't have more case support
The problem is that most of the companies make cases for iPhones. Samsung also doesn’t get that much support. Can’t even imagine ASUS would get much support.
It is only because ROG Phone 2 had a special China model that there are a few cases in the market. Sadly they aren’t that great.
That is why using skins will be better. The ones from capesindia look very nice.

I just drop mine in my blue jean's pocket. I did put a skin on it though and it has the free case over the skin. I also covered the vent with a piece of black vinly cause I don't want dust and lint getting into the phone.
Wow, you guys are extra careful with your phones.
I just used the clear plastic case that came with the phone, and waiting for the screen protector to come in so I can apply it.
Bag to carry ROG phone 2 and accessories
I looking for a case or bag that can carry my phone and all the accessories. When I saw the reviews. The reviewers got a rog case/bag with their version. Will attach Linus tech tip version. But I would love a case or bag that's not too big or small to carry my rog phone 2. Any suggestion?

Can anyone explain how flimsy/hard the flexishield is?
Im trying to find a case like this for the hero
ok well i cant find a link anywhere lol but my friend has it for his iphone. It was a rubberyish texture but it was a hard case, two pieces that slid over the phone (one top down, and the other piece bottom up).
anyone know of a case like this for the hero?
I'm using a rubbber casing its not that very thick and you have a good grip, a friend if mine had also a hard case for his iphone but it got very quick dirty and now he isn't using it. i used hard case on my xperia(still using) but if i comapere i like the rubber on.
you can find it on ebay and its not that exepsive i paid total 5 euro and thats very cheap. for the front i will suggest invicible shield. but i don't use anything for the front.
The one I bought for my Hero was a clear gel protector case that wraps around the case. It is not silicon but is flexible and waaaaaaay tougher than silicon. I dropped my phone by accident from about 5 feet onto concrete and it just bounce around without any damage at all. I got it off of ebay for like 5 bucks shipped. Just remember to get the gel and not silicon.
I bought from ebay (seller ID: sak.gaming) 2x FlexiShield. Shipped last 17th to my place in Malaysia. Bought it mainly because of favorable reviews I read from some sites
My vote goes to gel cases also. Cheap, durable and not as ugly as the silicone ones...
Hmm ok and what is the flexi shield like?

Lots of cases now.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/ToughGuard.htm?phone=HTC,Hero
sounds like the one you want
Oh and +1 for the flexi-shield
My clear flexishield is starting to get really dirty (quite noticeably). It's a great case and all but I tried cleaning it a number of times and it's still quite dirty. Rocking no case at the moment and no screen protector - hopefully some more third-party manufacturers churn out some more cases! (if only Incase weren't only dedicated to manufacturing accessories for Apple products - love their cases!)
Color HTC Hero
Do you have a black or white HTC Hero? Because I think the dirt wouldn't show as bad on a black HTC Hero, right?
White Hero. I haven't got any dirt on it either.. The case is the only thing that got dirty and I can't be bothered constantly cleaning the case.
I found this site, but i don't know about the quality of the products they are selling or is this site safe for online buying.

Has anyone tried this for the Note 3? I bought something very similar in gray translucent color for my Note 2 which fit the job perfectly since I keep my phone in my front right pocket so don't need anything bulky and the design/color turned out nice. Just hoping the charger port is big enough for use with Smart Dock which was a little snug with the Note 2 one. $3.99 with shipping included from Asia.

old thread, but I came across it and figured i'd respond.
I had something just like this for my HTC One.
it was great in how thin it was. Obviously not much for drop protection, but it provided better grip and scratch protection without adding weight/size.
Only issue was that the fit was very tight, and the material is not elastic. As a result, i ended up stretching one of the cutouts slightly, and it never quite sat perfectly. I liked it anyway, and would try one again if i still had the phone. I might try one of these for my GN3.
These cases are superb. I bought several of these just in case I want to swap them out. So far though, I have only swapped it out once because of light scratches from a year of use on my S3. These cases are definitely not for drop protection. Strictly for scratch protection. They are the thinnest available. They are also not grippy. I like it because I personally hate the dust collecting silicone cases. At first I bought the black version for my black note 3, but then i bought the white/clear version of the case and I like the clear case more. The black case hides the silver accent edge of the note 3 while the white one allows that detailing to show. It also doesn't hurt that they're dirt cheap.
I bought one of these and they are super thin. I love that it barely adds bulk. But as windowmaker said, there's no grip what so ever. At least before you had some grip from the battery cover. I decided to trim out the back of mine so I have some grip at the back since the battery cover is now exposed. But still no side grip. Maybe put clear skinomi skin on the sides for better grip. But if you want thin, this is one of the thinnest out there.

I've got one. Not bad but not perfect.The fit wasn't good enough, it always looked like it was coming off on one side. Cutouts very good. Does not protect the screen or the camera in any way. I switched to Ringke Slim since and I think it's better and not much bulkier. But for the money - great buy. And the Note still looks like the Note. And the owner still looks like homo sapiens not some anal-retentive douche who spends a fortune on a lovely and stylish phone just to turn it into some Ninja-Turtle global destruction device
Does anyone have a picture of the note 3 with this case on?

I used to use these style of cases because I wanted absolute minimal size added to the phone while providing basic scratch protection.
Recently I moved to "skins"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeStBNHqCZA
That's a skinomi wood one, and I much prefer it to those cheap 2mm cases. Not does it keep the phone slim, it provides the same type of protection. The cheap ebay cases werent going to provide any type of drop protection anyways.
I saw this at Best Buy, it's kind of pricey but it fit super snug to the phone and added minimal bulk. I was about to buy it. What do you think? It has the magnetic kickstand and also comes with the belt holster.

I had this for my note 2 , love the feel and adds no bulk

The case isn't bad but to me its kind of expensive. I have it currently but I don't use the holster. The phone also sits up off the table with the bottom higher than the top because of the kick stand and that kind of bothers me but thats a personal annoyance =) I do love the feel of the Ez Grip texture though, feels nice, and really easy to clean.
I bought this case n holster and I only use the holster. The case for me is to slippery. I got an lg circle case from sprint and fits perfectly with this holster.
Sent from my Black Lg G3
I got this case when I bought the phone simply because it was the only one available at BB. Have been pleasantly surprised although I don't use the holster. The grip is quite tacky so I feel comfortable when holding with one hand, yet it fits in a pocket amazingly well. Feels smaller in my pocket than my GS3 did with the body glove drop suit case.

The Platinum from Best Buy is just a rebranded version of the Seidio. I got the Seidio and love it.
I love these cases. My last 4 phones used these cases . Saved my butt several times from dropping onto the ground and grandkid(s) abuse. Use with care , screen protectors have a tendency to lift on the sides when putting on or taking off this case.
,,.................peace Brian
Looks good. But it's too bulky for me. But thanks for sharing
I almost bought this, but have Amazon prime & knew I could wait 2 days. I bought 2 cases, 1 being a Folsom case (I think it's Folsum) & the other, same idea, not sure the brand, but the second one uses the rubber flaps like over charging port. I also bought a 10 pack of skins. Of course it's really a 3 pack as I won't be using purple, pink, yellow etc. I prefer the skins as I'm extremely careful with phone. I use no screen protector either. Only spent about $20 for the total of 12 cases. Good deal.

So I stumbled upon this case on Amazon when searching for either a nice leather or faux leather case for my S7, and I was sick of the only ones available being those portfolio cases that cover the front. All I wanted was a case that was either a tpu style, or one that reminds me of the Incipio Feather or Spigen Slim Fit where the phone just pops in but the tops/bottoms are exposed....well I found this Tscase brand case and this thing is honestly awesome.

The leather feel on the back is really soft and smooth, and I chose the regular brown one instead of the netted, although the netted looks cool too.

the nice thing about this case is that it comes up over the corners, so the corners aren't so exposed. the top and bottom are exposed, yeah, but as you can see in the pics the corners are fine.
there's also a small lip around the screen so placing it screen down isn't an issue. plus, it pretty much hugs the sides, so i'm sure putting a screen protector that goes edge to edge wouldn't be an issue with this case.
overall, i'm so glad i found a cool leather case for this thing, and for a fraction of the cost of what the official samsung one is going to cost! i recommend this case if you like a thin, leather, good looking case!

Look nice... what screen protector are you using

the 10 dollar verizon branded ones. they're meh. don't mind the top corner by the ear piece lol...when i put it into gear VR one day it ripped it up and although i'm OCD and it bothers me, i'm way too lazy to put another one on.
plus within a week of having it on, i got a huge gash, so these screen protectors scratch easily. and obviously the sides have that effect because the glass curves.
overall, i only got them bc i needed them day one.
Can't find this in Amazon Canada? Other than Amazon US/UK, anyone know where I can pick one up?
hmm not sure. maybe they just aren't setup to ship in canada? it's a really nice case, though.
I bought the same case and I absolutely love it. I'm interested to see how well it holds up and how it weathers.

it's a great case. i just got the spigen crystal screen protector that wraps around the edges of the phone, and it fits perfectly with this case.
Yesterday, I threw caution and fiscal sense to the wind and invested £85 in the Samsung leather case (in black) for my Fold. I have tried the aramid case that came in the box but found it shows too many prints and smudges as well as not protecting the camera hum glass when laid back down. I also tried the Spigen thin fit case which is fine but I was concerned that the device was maybe not shutting properly when folded due to the fact that the case edges sit slightly proud of the main screen when open, hence my decision to buy the leather case.
The leather case is very light, very slim, very comfortable to hold and looks great, the back part is just thick enough to keep the camera glass away from the surface you lie it on and all the various cut outs for buttons, cameras and ports are perfectly place and sized.
Is it worth £85? Probably not but then again, having already coughed up an insane amount of cash for the device in the first place, why not go the whole hog and get the case as well.
If your wallet will run to it - recommended.
I got the original leather cover, too and am very happy with it. The free case is not good. It is so thin and hardly provides any protection.

Actually it's not the same sticky tape. It is more of a suction layer to stick to the glass. Which is much better as it doesn't get stuck to dust and lint that's in your pocket compared to the free case.
Ah cool I'll prob get one I just use the clearshield thing I got on front and back and use the free case with phone
Got the original case today does look and feels nice but still way over priced even though i paid £79.99 which is currently the cheapest anywhere some places selling for £120 inc samsung
That "adhesive" is cool because it is reusable. If it gets dirty just run it under some water and let it air dry. You can wipe down the leather side but let the sticky side air dry and its like BRAND NEW in just a couple minutes!
OP how are you getting on with your fold and the leather case?
Might be coming back into the fold ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ?with the fold2.
Have any of you guys/gals had any experience with more noreve leather cases?
